The $2.3M Cooper Flagg Chase, PSA’s $60 Grading Tier & Topps’ Red Rookie Problem | TSP Episode 205

Week 1 of the NFL season has collectors making big calls on Caleb Williams, Jaxson Dart, Christian Watson, Ashton Jeanty and Josh Allen. Michael and Josh decide which performances might last and which card markets are running ahead of the players.

Then they dig into Bowman Red Rookie cards featuring players who cannot qualify for the redemption program, PSA’s new $59.99 Standard grading tier and its massive backlog, and the first Tom Brady card in the NFL Living Set.

Josh also shares what happened when Pokémon’s 30th-anniversary product arrived at Grand Slam Cards: the shop’s longest opening line, a one-per-item limit and a same-day sellout. Plus, the guys track the Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper and Kon Knueppel NBA debut patch auctions and debate whether Flagg can clear $5 million.

In this episode:

Week 1 NFL overreactions and their effect on card prices
Bowman Red Rookie cards for players ineligible for Rookie of the Year
Grand Slam’s Pokémon 30th-anniversary release day
The Cooper Flagg debut patch auction
PSA’s $59.99 Standard tier and 9.9 million-item backlog
Tom Brady as card No. 1 in the NFL Living Set

Question for collectors: Would you grade a $150 raw card for $59.99, or leave it raw?

Because every card has a story.
